Apple’s Pages and PDF

Chris Breen over at Macworld reveals how to make Pages create correct PDFs. He sums up his experience thus:

Some weeks ago I mentioned that I was putting together my daughter’s preschool yearbook with Apple’s Pages. That yearbook is nearly finished and I’ll sum up my experience in two words: Never again.

I couldn’t agree more. Apple has really missed a trick with Pages, which has some really nice ideas spoiled by a ropey implementation that’s inconsistent, tricky to navigate around, and less powerful than AppleWorks. I’ll give it another go when version 2 comes out, but meanwhile I’m back to Word.
